OPEC, at least the smarter heads who are trying to run things behind closed doors, are well aware of what the future holds for their way-of-life if AE R&D picks up speed and begins to make inroads. I also think it becomes increasingly more likely that continued high prices will ultimately have the potential of destroying OPEC because year-after-year their own economies will gradually become addicted to the expectation of higher revenues just to maintain their own life styles. Any dip in prices... and the revolution is only a week away. A wise Saudi businessman once stated: My grandfather herded camels. My father rode bicycles. I drive cars. My children will pilot jets. My grandchildren will herd camels. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
